Planner and on-device choices
The day planner works without an account.
Local browser storage
Planner choices may be saved in local storage on the visitor’s device so the plan remains available. Clearing site data removes that local copy.
Share links
When a visitor uses the share feature, plan choices may appear as non-sensitive parameters in a Clearwater Beach Buddy URL. Email addresses are never added to those URLs.
Trip Pack email delivery
This section applies only when the optional Trip Pack form is enabled and submitted.
Information sent
The form sends the email address, optional arrival date, placement label, and a same-site plan link to Brevo for the requested delivery.
No local subscriber database
Clearwater Beach Buddy does not save submitted email addresses, arrival dates, or raw IP addresses in WordPress options, posts, comments, or custom tables.
Abuse prevention
Short-lived rate-limit entries use one-way HMAC digests of the address or IP and expire automatically. They are not reversible contact records.
Optional marketing
The separate marketing box is unchecked by default. When selected, Brevo sends a double-opt-in confirmation; the address joins the marketing list only after confirmation.
Unsubscribe and deletion
Marketing emails must include Brevo-managed unsubscribe controls. A visitor can reply to the monitored sender shown in the Trip Pack email to request access or deletion.
Hosting and necessary technical data
Kinsta and WordPress may process request data needed to deliver, secure, and troubleshoot the site.
Server and security logs
These may include IP address, time, requested URL, browser identifier, and security events. Their retention is controlled by the active host and security configuration.
Cookies
WordPress may use necessary cookies for administrators and other enabled core functions. The public planner itself uses local storage rather than an account cookie.
Analytics
This policy must be updated before enabling any new analytics, advertising, embedded tracking, or profiling service.
External services, children, and policy changes
Official-source links and visitor services are operated independently.
External links
City, county, state, federal, airport, transit, attraction, Kinsta, and Brevo pages apply their own privacy policies.
Children
The site is for general trip planning and does not knowingly request personal information from children. A parent or guardian should submit any Trip Pack request.
Changes
The policy and reviewed date will be updated when data collection, vendors, forms, analytics, advertising, or retention practices materially change.
